About Burscough Lordsgate Township Church of England Primary School

Burscough Lordsgate Township Church of England Primary School sits slightly below the Lancashire local authority average for its key stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths. The school’s 59% of pupils reaching that benchmark is just one percentage point behind the LA average of 60%, so it’s essentially in line with the typical primary in the area. That said, the school’s overall ranking within West Lancashire places it 30th out of 48 primaries, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. Nationally, it sits around the 40th percentile, which is a solidly middle-of-the-road position. The school is oversubscribed — 77 applications for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake — suggesting it remains a popular choice among local families despite not topping the performance charts.
